Basic Instructions:Start with clean hands and work surface. Recommended work surfaces include Cool Tools Clayboard, glass surfaces, disposable foil, or wax paper. For best results, work light colors before dark colors to avoid staining clay. Condition clay by kneading until soft and smooth. When connecting two pieces of clay together, press firmly to ensure they stick together after baking. See baking times below. Do not use microwave oven. Do not exceed the recommended baking temperature or baking time.Baking Times:Sculpey Souffel bakes to hardness in the oven at 275°F (130°C) for 30 minutes per 1/4" (6 mm) thickness. It requires no painting.Changing the Consistency of Clay:Sculpey clays have the unique ability to be made as firm or as soft as you like. To make your clay softer, simply add a few drops of Sculpey Mold Maker™ until desired consistency is reached. To make your clay more firm, roll your clay into a sheet. Sandwich your flat clay between 8-10 sheets of plain white copy paper. Place a weight on top of your clay (a phone book works great) and allow to sit for 1-24 hours, checking periodically.Pre-Baking Test:Home oven temperatures may vary significantly depending on your oven, affecting the baking of your clay. To test the temperature of your oven prior to baking, pinch off a small ball of clay. Shape a disc about a 1/2" in diameter, approximately a 1/4" thick. Fire at appropriate temperature. Remove from oven and check color. Any darkened areas indicate that your oven is too hot. Lower your oven temperature by 10ºF and repeat test.
Experience a different kind of polymer clay. Souffle is an innovative lightweight clay perfect for jewelry making! Its strength and ability to hold detail makes it an excellent clay for advanced techniques such as mokume gane, bargello and caning.

Automating communications measurement involves more than merely creating a push-button interface to control instruments. An ideal automated system combines data analysis, instrument control, and reporting. For example, such a system might fit a model to measured data, compare model predictions to new measurement data, and summarize the results in a document. Most currently available automated systems are good at one of these tasks but not others—for example, a solution might offer excellent instrument control but poor data analysis abilities.
This article shows how you can automate the entire measurement process in MATLAB®. We will demonstrate the automation through two examples. The first shows the combination of instrument control and data analysis in a MATLAB GUI. The second shows automated data analysis and report writing, and demonstrates how to create a standalone executable that can be shared with end users without exposing the underlying code.
The code samples discussed in this article are available for download.
Combining Instrument Control and Data Analysis
This example shows how you can combine measurement taking, data analysis, and visualization in one GUI-driven MATLAB application. Our goal is to model the response of an unknown circuit to a known input from an Agilent® 33220A arbitrary waveform generator. Our test setup consists of an unknown circuit, an external sound card to capture the output of the unknown circuit, the waveform generator, and, of course, MATLAB (Figure 1).
The first step is controlling test equipment from MATLAB using Instrument Control Toolbox™. The toolbox enables us to control equipment via a variety of interfaces, including USB, LXI, and GPIB. It also provides instrument-specific drivers for many instruments from Agilent, Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz, and other vendors.
Controlling an instrument involves creating and opening a session using a protocol object, writing commands to the session, and reading the instrument's response. We can connect to and control an Agilent 33220A arbitrary waveform generator via the VISA interface using the following code:
interfaceObj = visa('AGILENT', VISAaddress)
% Create a device object.
fgen = icdevice('agilent_33220a.mdd', interfaceObj)
% Connect device object to hardware.
% Set the voltage amplitude to 0.2 V
set(fgen, 'Amplitude', 0.2)
As you can see, the code is straightforward.
Next, using the GUIDE tools in MATLAB we build a GUI-based application for real-time instrument control, data analysis, and visualization. Via the GUI, the user controls the instrument settings and starts the measurement process (Figure 2).
The application simultaneously receives data from the sound card and the waveform generator and displays it on the graphs. When the user clicks Develop Model, the underlying code analyzes the waveform data and the data from the unknown circuit, fitting a polynomial model to the data and displaying the fitting results as a function of signal frequency. When measurement-taking resumes after the model has been built, the application shows the difference between the measured and modeled data.
Data Analysis and GUI Building
Our second application continues the theme of GUI control, but this time, we want to automate data analysis and report writing. Our goal is to examine how certain measured Long Term Evolution (LTE) parameters vary over time. Amplifier and transmitter characteristics vary from device to device, but a trend over time may indicate a problem that we need to investigate. We want to display these variations and model changes.
Our source data is a file of measured LTE parameters such as maximum output power, EVM, receiver sensitivity, and spurious emissions for different devices acquired at different times.
GUI Building
We want to display variations in measured parameters over time and plot these variations as a histogram (to show the type of distribution and spread). We also want to obtain minimum, maximum, and mean values plus standard deviation. Our GUI will automate these tasks. Using the GUIDE tool, we build the interface (Figure 3).
GUIDE uses a drag-and-drop approach, enabling you to build GUIs through a menu of GUI items, such as push buttons, text boxes, and graphs. We link GUI controls to the underlying MATLAB code via callback functions. For example, when the user clicks Update to update the graph, the application calls the following callback function. Note that the graphs include variation with time and histograms.
% --- Executes on button press in UpdateGraphs.
function UpdateGraphs_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
popup_sel_index = get(handles.popupmenu1, 'Value');
switch popup_sel_index
case 1
case 2
case 3
case 4
case 5
case 6
case 7
case 8
case 9
case 10
case 11
case 12
The underlying code could be any MATLAB code; for example, it could be code for controlling instruments, analyzing data, or drawing graphs.
Selecting buttons on the GUI activates the underlying code. For example, when the user clicks Browse, a dialog box opens to locate the data file. When the user selects Run analysis, the underlying code calculates statistics for each measured parameter and displays the results in a dialog box.
Automating Report Generation
Analyzing and writing reports on the variation of components and systems over time is a necessary but tedious task. MATLAB Report Generator™ automates much of the data analysis and report writing process.
In the Report Generator tool, we define the structure of the report: an overview with summary results, and a section for each individual parameter. We write MATLAB code to calculate measurement statistics (minimum and maximum, mean, standard deviation), curve-fit data (to see if there is a variation over time), and generate graphs plotting parameter values against time and parameter histograms. We include this code in our Report Generator project and add the MATLAB output to our generated report (Figure 4).
At the press of a button we produce a Microsoft® Word® document containing all this information (Figure 5).
The report includes an overview with a summary of the results and a section for each parameter, including an analysis of variation over time (including an automated short assessment of whether the variation is significant), graphs, curve-fitting results, and parameter histogram. The Word document is editable, enabling interpretations of the data to be added to the basic report.
To further automate the process, we add report generation to the GUI. The Report Generator can be called from the MATLAB command line without going through the interface, so we can add a Generate Report button to the GUI and connect it to MATLAB code that generates the report.
Building Standalone Applications
MATLAB Compiler™ lets you share an application while protecting the underlying source code. The compiler compiles applications into a standalone executable that users can run without having access to the source code or a MATLAB license.
The process is straightforward (Figure 6). The first step is to create a project file containing the MATLAB files and all other files needed by the application (for example, image files). This process is similar to building projects in other C compilers. The second step is to compile the project, which is simply a matter of pressing the Compile button. The last step is to distribute the standalone executable.
Standalone applications can include almost all MATLAB features, including data analysis, graphs, instrument control, statistical analysis, and signal processing.
We've built an application that can control instruments, analyze and display data, and produce written reports, and compiled the application for distribution as a standalone application. In short, we've automated the entire communications measurement process using MATLAB.

Five Ways Agencies Can Solve the Omnichannel Problem
"Agencies are going to need to invest in entirely new divisions focused solely on managing multi-channel marketing." So said Chris Gomersall of Atomized in an Ad Age op-ed last week.
No one questions that channel fragmentation is a big problem for marketers and agencies. As a matter of fact, "omnichannel" has been the buzzword du jour for quite a while, which is indicative of how acute marketer woes are. Mr. Gomersall correctly points out that it has become extremely difficult to manage a campaign coherently, cohesively and efficiently across channels with different formats, tech specs, audiences, platforms and metrics.
Most importantly, this issue goes way beyond difficulty of execution for brands. The fundamental problem is that often, consumers are confused or dissatisfied with the brand experience. Have you ever tried to conduct an online banking transaction, just to be told you needed to call via phone? How did that feel?
However, creating a new division within the agency (or marketer), as advocated by Mr. Gomersall, isn't the solution.
The irony is that "new divisions" are a standard agency response to market challenges and one of the reasons the industry is struggling with fragmentation today. Years ago, when marketers began shifting spend to digital, agencies created digital divisions led by the chief digital officer. Later would come chief officers for mobile, social, analytics, data, programmatic, native — the list goes on. This is a problem that adding an "omnichannel" layer won't solve. It will actually compound the effect: another team, with a set of goals different from other teams' goals, metrics, methodologies and so on. In the parlance of our times, too many cooks.
What if, instead of adding divisions, we actually simplify and have existing ones cooperate? It is harder to do, but it may actually work. Here are five ways agency teams can cooperate to solve the omnichannel problem:

On Texas 130, road hogs are the feral kind
The opening of the Texas 130 toll road extension went off without a hitch Wednesday, with no major collisions to speak of.
But when night fell, the wildlife came out.
Vehicles and animals collided at least three times somewhere along the 41-mile road that connects southern Austin to Seguin and boasts an 85-mph speed limit — the fastest in the country.
Two hogs were hit, and one vehicle struck a deer.
No drivers were injured. The animals may not have been so lucky, though their exact fates are unknown.
On Thursday afternoon, the first vehicle rollover occurred, not far from Interstate 10.
The driver had minor injuries, said Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke, whose deputies assisted Department of Public Safety troopers at the scene. DPS Trooper Jason Reyes said he does not believe speed was a factor.
But the fact that hogs played a part in at least two wrecks was no surprise to many who live in the Caldwell County area, where at least two of the accidents occurred. It is hog country.
"That is a known pig route," said Caldwell County Precinct 1 Constable Victor "Smitty" Terrell, who heard one of the hog-vs.-vehicle crashes on his police radio Wednesday night.
Like Texas 130 has the highest speed limit, Texas claims the largest feral hog population in the U.S. — 2.6 million.
It is so problematic that the state agriculture department runs a feral hog abatement program, including a contest called the "Hog Out Challenge," in which counties compete to take the most swine by killing them, or trapping, snaring or capturing them "for purposes of immediate slaughter," the rules say.
Caldwell County is competing in the challenge.
It's unclear if road kill counts. Lockhart police Capt. John Roescher spotted at least three dead hogs on the side of Texas 130 at U.S. 183 on Thursday morning.
The sight didn't alarm him "because we're so used to seeing that around here," Roescher said.
Upon arriving at the office Thursday, Roescher read an email from the department's night shift officer about two separate overnight collisions involving three hogs.
It wasn't immediately clear if the hogs Roescher saw were the culprits in the collisions — the toll road is so new, the Police Department's reporting system does not yet include any Texas 130 mile markers. He only knew the crashes happened somewhere on the 6-mile stretch of the road within the city limits.
The damage can be serious. The state agriculture department said hogs — which can reach several hundred pounds — cause about $1,200 damage per collision.
In one of the overnight incidents, a 19-year-old Martindale resident driving a Chrysler 300 struck a hog, weight unknown. The car had to be towed. No details were yet available on the other collision.
But hogs aren't the only animals drivers could encounter. Elsewhere on the road overnight, Department of Public Safety troopers responded to a pickup that struck a deer, said Chris Lippincott, spokesman for the SH 130 Concession Co., the private company that built and will maintain the toll road extension.
He said the company will monitor the wildlife situation now that the road is open. Security cameras on 80 percent of the road allow officials to watch the road 24/7. Lights are located on entrance and exit ramps.
"We'll attempt to identify any areas where there is frequent wildlife crossings," Lippincott said. "If that does occur, we'll put up signage or take other action necessary to address the issue."
Roescher said these kinds of animal-vehicle collisions are all too common in this highly rural area, keeping local body shops in business.
But no one's ever had to deal with the aftermath of crashes involving animals and vehicles driving 85 mph.
"That still remains to be seen how bad those wrecks are," Roescher said.

Those working at Emory also can take comfort in that they have a unique place one of only four such facilities in the United States, according to Ribner to treat such a contagious disease. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is based down the street. It features "special air handling," strict protocols on everything and everyone who goes in and out of a Nike Roshe Run Knit Jacquard patient's room, and other measures to ensure that any potential dangers are contained.
It's a unique facility that's rarely used.
stable as possible.
The renowned hospital's wide variety of tools will be put to ample use given how Ebola without the existence of any FDA approved treatments will be addressed at Emory: using what Ribner calls "supportive care." That means carefully tracking a patient's symptoms, vital signs and organ function and taking measures, such as blood transfusions and dialysis, to keep him or her as Nike Roshe Run Hawaiian Floral
Giving the body a chance to fight back
They canceled their vacation.
"They said, 'We have been training for this,'" Dr. Bruce Ribner, who heads the Emory University Hospital unit where the two Americans with Ebola will be treated, told CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta himself a neurosurgery professor at Emory. "'We are not going to miss this opportunity to care for this patient."
They know how the virus spreads
Hospital prepared to treat Ebola patients
Online and on street corners, in homes and in businesses, the idea of purposefully bringing Ebola into the United States has rattled the nerves of many.
But you won't hear that kind of thing at Emory University Hospital. According to Ribner, it's been just the opposite.
they are infected. The virus doesn't spread until that person shows symptoms, which typically takes two to 21 days, according to the World Health Organization.
So faced with the prospect of coming face to face with this terrible illness at their Atlanta hospital, where its first documented Ebola cases ever are soon set to arrive, what did two nurses do?
"It's kind of like an insurance policy," the Emory physician said. "You can complain about the fact that you didn't collect on your . policy or you can say as in this case 'Boy, we're lucky we've been supporting you all these years because now we really need you.' And it would be really challenging to develop this on the fly."
Ribner said it was last activated a couple of years ago, when someone came from Angola amid a Marburg virus outbreak.
about his health or that of his colleagues.
Yes, Ebola in the United States is unprecedented. But that doesn't mean experts don't know anything about it.
What the Emory doctor doesn't have, as American patients Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly arrive for treatment at his hospital, is hesitation or trepidation. Ribner told reporters he has "no concerns" Nike Roshe Run Blue And Grey
Another person who also didn't express any worry was Ribner's wife.
"My wife knew when she was getting into when she married an infectious disease doctor. It went fine," he said of his conversation with his wife. "She said, 'Great, that's what you've been dreaming for 12 years.'"

Talking to reporters Friday, Ribner said Ebola spreads much like HIV, Hepatitis B or C through the transmission of bodily fluids, not by simply being in the same room as someone infected.
"As I came in this morning, I had people congratulating us for accepting these patients."
"We just have to keep the patient alive long enough in order for the body to control this infection," Ribner explained.
Everything is thought out, right down to how visitors can interact with patients. They can be within 1 to 2 inches of each other, looking through a plate glass window and talking through an intercom.

"I quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home. Maybe we should give it some serious consideration…"
Those are words from Ferrari CEO Luca Di Montezemolo. He has the dreams to compete in the LMP1 and they are coming closer as the first pictures showing a possible Ferrari prototype for Le Mans have emerged.The pictures follow a recent video of a modified LaFerrari model racing around the Fiorano test track (shown below). Early speculation suggested that car would have been a new turbocharged V6 destined for Formula 1, however, it seems more likely now that it could have been a different powerplant destined for prototype racing at Le Mans. Something within the likes of a supercharged V8 hybrid suitable for racing at the 24 hours of LeMans.
If Ferrari were to enter the P1 prototype racing class at Le Mans it wouldn't likely be until the 2016 season, though by then the field would be increasingly competitive. Along with the dominant Audi team, Toyota has been competing for the past several years and both automakers will be joined by Porsche this coming season. Di Montezemolo's ambitions to race the P1 class at Le Mans don't come out of the blues. Ferrari's last win in this class was in 1965 with the Ferrari 250LM.

Albert Perlow, a former owner of one of the city's oldest auto-body repair businesses, died of pneumonia Oct. 13 at Sinai Hospital. The Pikesville resident was 87.
Born in Baltimore and raised on Appleton Street, he was the son of David Perlow and Bertha Perlow, Russian immigrants. He was a 1943 graduate of City College and belonged to Sigma Alpha Rho, a service fraternity, in which he remained active.
He enlisted in the Navy after graduation and attended Midshipmen's School at Notre Dame University and took courses at Duke University and George Washington University. He served in China, Japan and the Philippines aboard the USS Marmora as a supply officer.
When he was 20, Mr. Perlow started dating his future wife, Barbara "Bobbie" Penn, whose family owned Penn Brothers Chrysler Plymouth. They married Dec. 25, 1948, at the old Bluefield Catering Hall.
He enrolled at the University of Maryland School of Law and studied for two years, but assumed ownership and management of his father's Cathedral Body and Fender Works, which was advertised as the "oldest independent body and fender shop in Baltimore" after its 1914 founding. The business was on Cathedral Street near Eager.
"The family needed help running the business side of the company, so he left law school early," said his granddaughter, Becky Perlow of Washington, D.C.
He worked with his father and brother, Jerome "Yannie" Perlow, who did the repair work. The family originally repaired auto radiators, then moved on to body and fender work. Among the original partners was Joseph Weinberg, the father of philanthropist Harry Weinberg. Joseph Weinberg later left the Perlows and set up his own shop.
Mr. Perlow ran the business side of the operation. He did the estimates and worked with the insurance companies. He ordered parts and did the billing. He and his brother enlarged the shop, moved it to Bonaparte Avenue near 25th Street and later to Belvedere Avenue in Northwest Baltimore, where it remains in business today under different ownership.
"Albert met thousands of Baltimoreans, but while most people never give their auto repair guy a second thought, his customers never forgot his kindness and honesty," his granddaughter said.
She said that her grandfather became well known. "I get asked, 'Are you related to Al Perlow?' and then they say, 'Oh, he repaired my car,'" she said.
"He loved what he did. It seemed like everyone came through his shop when they needed their car fixed. If you were his customer, he remembered your name, your wife's name and your car make," said Maury Bass, a friend who lives in Pikesville. "He was fun to be around. He all but stepped out of a Damon Runyon story. He was a gambler and loved to go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. But he loved people and his family more than anything else."
His son, Howard Perlow, who lives in Pikesville, said his father was known for fair estimates.
"He and his brother did very good work. He never wanted an unhappy customer," his son said. "I was working with him one summer when a customer said he did not like the paint. My father said, 'Bring it back. I'll repaint it.'"
In his free time, Mr. Perlow followed Maryland thoroughbred racing. He and partners owned numerous horses, including Alert Vimy, Mary's Hunt and Royal Chain. At Pimlico Race Course, attired in a plaid sports coat and a fedora with a feather in the brim, he joined friends, including former Giant food stores owner Israel "Izzy" Cohen. He was a regular at the track, and Pimlico general manager Chick Lang had races named in Mr. Perlow's honor on his birthday. He was also close with trainer Hubert "Sonny" Hine.
Mr. Perlow filled his office with photographs taken in the winner's circle. He also invested in trotting horses. He liked cards and games of poker, pitch and gin rummy. He played several nights a week.
Mr. Perlow and his brother also bought homes and commercial property to lease. His granddaughter said they earned a reputation for maintaining them well and having good relationships with tenants.
He was active in the Masons and chaired the automotive division of the Associated Jewish Federation of Baltimore for many years. He was a former member of Beth El and Beth Tfiloh and was a current member of Shaarei Tfiloh congregation.
Services were Oct. 15 at Sol Levinson & Bros.
In addition to his son and granddaughter, survivors include two other sons, Ira Perlow of Waltham, Mass., and Jeffrey Perlow of Reisterstown; a daughter, Bonnie Perlow of Reisterstown; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. His wife died in 2001.

Garner took the floor with his fervent plea for a tax bill that would balance the budget and sustain the credit of the United States. The speedy action forecast flnal passage of the $1,245,000,000 bill by tomorrow night. It then will go to the senate for consideration by that body. Just before it concluded tonight, the house took up the controversial one quarter of one per cent tax on stock transactions, w'hich the ways and means committee suggested to make the stock market help balance the budget. STOCK TAX POSTPONED This precipitated a lively controversy, and it was decided to postpone a vote until tomorrow on this tax, estimated to bring In $75,000,000 annually In presenting the amendment, Representative Heartsill Ragon, Dem., Ark., said he had received estimates that stock market business this year would amount to $17,-000,000,000 as compared with $31,-000,000,000 last year. Officials of the stock market appeared recently before the ways and means subcommittee headed by Ragon which drafted the sales tax substitutes. Garner moved into action again today to urge a compromise on provision of the measure dealing with corporation income tax returns and the house followed his advice explicitly. Some items involving millions of dollars were adopted today without debate, submissive was the temper of the now orderly house. POSTAGE INCREASED The most extensive discussion centered about an increase from | two to three cents in flrst class postage rates, which was adopted, 147 to 63. This was the largest item added today, being estimated to produce $135,000,000. This estimate was challerged by chairman James M. Mead, of the post-offlce committee, who acquiesced in the 50 per cent increase, but said It would not produce this much money.

The Calypso System is a state-of-the-art imaging system that uses Implantable or Surface Beacon® Transponders to track real-time movement of tumors during radiation therapy. Subtle movements during treatment can cause the radiation beam aimed at the tumor to touch surrounding healthy tissue. This can lead to unwanted side effects such as incontinence and impotence in prostate radiation treatment, or additional side effects associated with other types of cancer.
Used in combination with external beam radiation therapy, the Calypso system works just like the GPS in a car. It alerts your Radiation Therapist when your tumor is no longer in the treatment target zone and stops the radiation delivery. This avoids irradiating other nearby organs and minimizes unwanted side effects. Since the cancer can be targeted more accurately, the radiation margin can be diminished. This allows your Radiation Oncologist to prescribe a higher dose of radiation to the tumor and minimize radiation to normal tissue.

[E]ven those inured to the new look were flabbergasted at the sheer quantity of guys who looked chicken-chested, hollow-cheeked and undernourished....It wasn't that long ago that male models were expected to be well-muscled. But somehow, as one designer put it: "The eye has changed." A well-built man can't fit into the clothes the designers want to make. He only fits in clothes that look "boxy," and boxy looks so wrong right now. So, the designers must design not only the clothes that look right, they must design the person inside the clothes.
[M]odels like Stas Svetlichnyy of Russia typified the new norm. Mr. Svetlichnyy's top weight, he said last week, is about 145 pounds. He is 6 feet tall with a 28-inch waist.
"Designers like the skinny guy," [model agency director Dave Fothergill said.] "It looks good in the clothes and that's the main thing. That's just the way it is now."
Pity the poor fashion designer! It is not his business to make ordinary people — have you seen these horrible ordinary people? — happy and comfortable and reasonably good-looking in their clothes. He must realize a vision. Yet he is continually hitting up against the limits of human anatomy. He must put a human being inside his beautiful work, and these human beings are so hard to reshape into what looks new. It's not as if you can rip them apart at the seams and resew. So maddeningly frustrating.

Another Big Bet on Mobile Payments: Boku Raises $25 Million
Is there big money in mobile payments–systems that let people buy stuff using their phones, charging purchases to their wireless bills? Not yet, perhaps. But investors are betting there will be.
Latest example: Boku, a mobile payment start-up that raised $13 million last June, has added another $25 million via a C round led by DAG Ventures. Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures and Khosla Ventures are all re-upping.
For now, Boku and competitors like Zong are focused on letting people use their phones to buy "virtual goods," primarily on social games run by the likes of Zynga, Playdom, and Playfish from Electronic Arts (ERTS).
But even if you believe that the virtual goods business is not going the way of Pet Rocks, it is going to be somewhat limited–the most obvious users for this stuff are kids who don't have their own credits cards–and competition will ratchet up if Facebook decides to finally offer its own payment platform, which seems very likely.
But the amount of money the start-ups are raising indicates that they have much bigger ambitions. They want to turn your phone into a payment system for "real" stuff. Easy enough to see how you could extend this to other digital purchases, like music, video, etc., but there's no reason you couldn't buy physical goods this way.
Could happen, too. Though we've been hearing about that scenario for more than a decade, and it hasn't taken off yet.
One near-term obstacle, at least in the U.S., is carrier fees–AT&T (T), Sprint (S) et al generally take up to 50 percent of each transaction that happens on their networks. If the mobile payment business is going to go up, those numbers need to come down.

Star Hill
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to:navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Star_Hill&oldid=3026551"
Star Hill is the name of a mystical hill in the Mario franchise. While its appearance has changed in each appearance so far, it is usually lauded for its beautiful and romantic view (Mario is even advised by a Toad to take Princess Peach there on a date). Star Hill is literally seen as the place where wishes come true.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
In its debut in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Star Hill is located in the southwest region of Mario World, and is made out of many smaller hills which look like dark blue meteorites. Mario, Mallow and Geno travel here for one of the seven Star Pieces. This Star Piece is the only one that can be taken without a fight; it rests on the ground at the end of Star Hill, unguarded by anyone (most likely because the player fought in Booster's Tower and Marrymore).
It is impossible to traverse the entire hill simply by walking; the only way to access different areas is by lighting several of the unusual star-shaped flowers, causing a keyhole in a large star in the area to grow. Going through the enlarged keyhole allows the enterer to travel to another area instantly, and the keyhole shrinks behind them. The hopeful fallen stars that litter the area can be examined to hear the wishes of the people who made them. Two of these wishes will come true over the course of the game, and if the wishes are examined after it comes true, the wish will be changed. Reading Mallow's wish will cause him to lash out at the player in embarrassment, and reading his parents' wish will make him mellow.
At the time of this game's events, Smithy's monsters have overrun the terrain. This includes Geckos, Mastadooms, Mukumukus, Pulsars, and Sackits.
Paper Mario[edit]
In Paper Mario, Star Hill is instead directly north of Peach's Castle, although it is renamed Shooting Star Summit in the English version. Unlike its previous appearance, the stars the mountain is named for are unable to be interacted with, and there are shooting stars seen of various colors that constantly scatter and fall harmlessly on its grounds. At the base of the hill lies Merluvlee and Merlow's house (referred to as "Merluvlee's Place" in the nearby notice board), where Mario can have his fortune told and trade Star Pieces for badges. Princess Peach's treasure chest can be found on the first floor of the house.
During the events of the storyline, Eldstar notifies Mario in a dream to head to the summit for counsel after Bowser takes Peach's castle to the sky and easily KOs Mario. Once he has awakened from his unconscious state after many days and Goombario's family revives him, he heads to the summit. Once he arrives, all seven Star Spirits appear (using the last of their power to create a projection) and reveal to Mario he must rescue all of them to save Princess Peach. On his way back down the mountain, Mario is introduced to Twink, who gives him the Lucky Star from Peach and teaches him how to use the Action Command. A Magikoopa then appears, having followed Twink to Mario, and must be defeated. Once the Star Spirits are physically gathered together later on, they use their power to open the Star Way, a celestial trail which leads to Star Haven above.
Area Tattles[edit]
In-game map description[edit]
Items found[edit]
In addition to the items listed above, Merlow has 15 badges to sell, and Mario can get items from Princess Peach's treasure chest.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Star Hill is again shown to be north of Peach's Castle. It is only explored in the past, where it appears to be made of glittering stars and contains Star Shrine accessed at the top.
Star Hill is a small area, and enemies include Love Bubbles, Handfakes and Fly Guys. The "spirit of the Cobalt Star" (in reality, Elder Princess Shroob) speaks to the Mario brothers and their younger selves on top of the hill after Commander Shroob is battled and defeated there. A pipe to Star Hill can be found in the destroyed Toad Town near the Time Hole to the basement of Peach's Castle.

Morocco: From the medinas to the mountains
'Watch out!" I shouted. The scooter with the hyperactive exhaust system had narrowly missed grazing my husband. Only seconds before, I'd flattened myself against a stall to escape a passing moped.
A stroll through the medina of Marrakech keeps you fully alert to what's coming your way. The thoroughfares are so crazily crowded that you have to laugh. Every few seconds, you're forced to get out of the way of a motorcycle or a bicycle. Moments of paralysis occur when a hand-pushed cart carrying goods to a shop meets another carrying bricks or long pipes.
Morocco's medinas -- the old, walled parts of the country's cities -- all have distinct characters, but a quality they share is timelessness. We sampled several of these cities, as Edith Wharton had in 1917. According to her book "In Morocco," the Moroccan city has no age, "since its seemingly immutable shape is forever crumbling and being renewed on the old lines."
Marrakech's medina revolves around the Jemaa el-Fna. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the "square" is a public space like no other. Once used for public executions, it's huge, and its shape can be described only as a spiky amoeba. Blocks of shops stick out into it; you go around corners, and new spaces open up.
We'd opted to stay close to the Jemaa el-Fna. Taxis can get into the square but no farther, and we would never have found our way to Riad Itrane if the owners hadn't dispatched someone to lead us there. "Riad" means garden, but in Morocco it has come to mean a traditional city house with at least one interior gardenlike courtyard. Many have now been converted into guesthouses of a gentler and more colorful kind than hotels.
After dark, the Jemaa el-Fna is lively with acrobats, musicians and pop-up restaurants serving tagine, a stewlike dish traditionally cooked in a special earthenware pot. At a long communal table, we ate an inexpensive, if not delectable, dish of overcooked vegetables on a bed of couscous. After dinner, we were urged by other restaurateurs to sample their cooking.
"You're so skinny, you could eat two more meals," was a standard line.
After three delightful days, we made our way to Fes by train. The huge medina of Fes, called Fes el-Bali, is said to be the best preserved medieval town in the Arab world and another UNESCO World Heritage site. The souk's steep, narrow, sunless passages are not for the claustrophobic, and you must be prepared to duck and weave if you want to break the logjam of people and donkey carts.
At the heart of Fes el-Bali is the Kairaouine Mosque, one of the largest in Africa. As is true of nearly every other mosque in Morocco, non-Muslims cannot enter it but may only glance in through open doorways.
The medina is home to small-scale capitalism, and any transaction generates a commission for a number of salesmen and touts. An urchin escorted us to a showroom in a dark alley where we halfheartedly haggled for a small kilim, or rug. We finally agreed on a price -- probably paying too much.
We escaped the hustle by climbing several flights of stairs to a restaurant with a rooftop terrace. The traditional harira soup served with a side of dates and shebbakiya (sesame cookies fried and then drenched in honey) was deeply satisfying after our hectic time below.
Marrakech and Fes are just two of the four traditional capitals of Morocco, the others being Rabat and Meknès, and those and many other cities have their old medinas. On this trip we visited Tangier by the sea, Taroudant in the far south, and a place we hadn't heard of -- Chefchaouen.
You can get to Chefchaouen by bus from Tangier or Tétouan, leaving a valley to climb a mountainside. Above the city is the double peak that gives the city its name, which means "two goat horns."
You can't get seriously lost in this medina, because it's only half a mile long. And you soon learn that it's threaded by a main way that runs along the upper wall, from which smaller openings twist down to the tree-shaded public space along the lower wall above the river. This has to be one of the most pleasant of all "squares." One side is bounded by the mosque, to which the congregation climbs up a long staircase. On the other sides are open-air restaurants, where you may be entertained at your table by a musician with tribal garb and a native fiddle.
The riad in which we stayed was another little domestic maze. Our room on the roof had a wooden ceiling worthy of a church. Outside it, we had breakfast on a blue-washed balcony, from which we looked down across the jumble of the medina as the sun began to climb over the two-horned mountain and touch it.
If you go
- Visas are not required for American travelers visiting Morocco for less than 90 days.
- The Arab Spring of 2010-2011 scared tourists away from North Africa, although the Moroccan kingdom is one of the few countries that escaped upheaval. Still, the U.S. State Department recommends that Americans in Morocco remain alert to the security situation and avoid political demonstrations. Visitors can join the Smart Traveler Enrollment program (step.state.gov/step) to receive updates on travel warnings, alerts and other info. There is a Smart Traveler app available for the iPhone and Android.
- The currency in Morocco is the dirham. At press time the exchange rate was 8.55 dirhams to the U.S. dollar.
What to do
- Jemaa el-Fna. Once used for public executions, this strange, irregular and wonderful space is the heart of Marrakech. At night, the colorful and chaotic square is transformed into a massive outdoor dining room with musicians and other entertainers.
- Fes el-Bali. You'll be perpetually lost in this huge, busy, mazelike medina. Founded in the ninth century, the UNESCO World Heritage site is completely pedestrianized.
- Chefchaouen medina. Highlights include Uta-el-Hammam Square, lined with sidewalk cafes, the Great Mosque with an unusual octagonal tower and the casbah.
